[Intro: Quavo]
I like this, Zay, for real
(Zaytoven)
(That boy Cassius)
This for all my brothers out there in these streets, man (In the streets)
You gotta stick together (Stick together)
I know it's a struggle out here, but you gotta be together (It's a struggle)
Woo
Yeah
Uh, go
[Chorus: Quavo]
Everybody been through it (Been through it, oh)
Everybody used to it (They used to it)
But ain’t nobody new to it (Not new to it)
We all gon' go through it (Ayy, huh)
And that’s the struggle (Struggle, huh)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Struggle)
Ooh, call it the struggle (Call it the struggle)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Gotta survive)
Yeah
[Verse 1: Quavo]
Quavo!
Got to survive (Survive), the struggle (Uh)
I had to get my money cause I ain’t have no muscle (Money, go)
My squad gon' ride that’s because I trust 'em (I trust 'em)
If he want to die, know my squad gon bust 'em (Bow, graow)
If they ain’t with us then my nigga fuck 'em
It’s a struggle in my hood, blue Benjamins, I touch 'em (Struggle)
RIP to Mike Brown, I heard my nigga fuck with us
Middle finger to the police dare, them niggas fuck with us (Fuck 12!)
I got all these chains, I’m representing slavery (Slave)
Only listen to my god and mama, that’s who made me (God)
When my brother [?] called my phone, that shit was crazy (Brrr)
RIP my brother Pistol Pete, let em know we made it (Uh)
Mama told me that she can’t visit me in the pen (Mama)
She want to break me out and I can’t see her going in (Ooh)
I swear to god you might ain't seen it (No)
But if you been through the struggle I know you feel this (Struggle)
Struggle (Uh, go)
[Chorus: Quavo]
Everybody been through it (Been through it, oh)
Everybody used to it (They used to it)
But ain’t nobody new to it (Not new to it)
We all gon' go through it (Ayy, huh)
And that’s the struggle (Struggle, huh)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Struggle)
Ooh, call it the struggle (Call it the struggle)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Gotta survive)
[Verse 2: Takeoff]
See the struggle is a motherfucker (It is)
Nigga tryna hit me for my chain, but I ain’t gon let him touch it (Nah)
Go to any state, walk through your hood and I ain’t got to tuck 'em
Swear to god if you touch my brother I ain’t gon hesitate to bust ya (Bah, bah, bah)
Niggas see you getting money, plotting, tryna take it from ya (Tellin' ya)
It’ll hurt you if you know your right hand man, he telling on you
Break down me a Backwood, rolling me a blunt of marijuana (Backwood)
OutKast in my Backwood (What you call that?), young nigga smoking on Stankonia (Gas)
Remember plugging up that George Foreman
Early in the morning eat leftovers
I had to warm it, now a young nigga eat steak and shrimp at Benihanas (Beni's)
I remember ten piece chicken nuggets from McDonalds (Mickey)
I remember mama said get up, go get that money (Mama)
Stand solid, never let another nigga take it from you (Solid)
I told you mama, now you got that mansion that you wanted (You wanted)
I came a long way from renting that Audi, now I own it (Own it)
Rest in peace Ree-Ree and Pistol Pete, the top is lonely (It is)
[Chorus: Quavo & Offset]
Uh, go!
Everybody been through it (Been through it, oh)
Everybody used to it (They used to it)
But ain’t nobody new to it (Not new to it)
We all gon' go through it (Ayy, huh)
And that’s the struggle (Struggle, huh)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Struggle)
Ooh, call it the struggle (Call it the struggle)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Gotta survive)
Struggle (Offset)
Yeah
[Verse 3: Offset]
First free my brother (Free), we used to build the mansions in the house with covers (Back then, hah)
He used to beat me, told me, "nigga, get some muscle" (Get some muscle)
If you can’t beat em then you gonna have to bust 'em (You gon' bust 'em, graow)
It was a struggle (Struggle), grandma dead, man I really wish I could hug her (Grandma)
Migo gang la familia, so fuck the other (Migo)
I told my mama I got her back when I lost my brother (I gotcha, big bruh)
Locked up for a strap, said I wasn’t going back, and I still got in trouble (Still went back, damn)
If you got the sack, then my niggas kidnap, 'cause my niggas, they gutter (Kidnap, bup bow)
Packing the dope, we kickin' in your door (Boom), we looking for the gold (Boom, boom, where, where)
Keep the forties on my hip, the heater because the world is so cold (Bop, bow)
Get the money, fuck the bitches (Fuck 'em), nigga that’s the number one goal (Number one)
If a nigga want a pull up then a nigga got to be bold (Gotta be bold)
Five racks, hit him with the chopper, nigga you got to go (You gotta go, bow)
You niggas is hoes when the pistol shows, you getting exposed (Exposed, pussy)
Givenchy my toe, I came out that bowl, I lived on the stove (Trap, woah)
[Chorus: Quavo]
Everybody been through it (Been through it, oh)
Everybody used to it (They used to it)
But ain’t nobody new to it (Not new to it)
We all gon' go through it (Ayy, huh)
And that’s the struggle (Struggle, huh)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Struggle)
Ooh, call it the struggle (Call it the struggle)
Struggle, struggle, struggle (Gotta survive)
